ADMINISTRATORS for Wilko have announced the closing dates of remaining stores, including York and Selby.
The Clifton Moor shop in York will close on Thursday, October 5 and the Wilko in Abbey Walk Shopping Centre in Selby will shut on Sunday, October 8.
The hardware and furnishings discount retailer fell into administration on August 10 and insolvency experts at PriceWaterhouseCoopers brought about a phase of closures as rescue negotiations for all 400 stores collapsed.
Wilko employed 12,500 people across its 400 shops and ran support and distribution centres in Worksop and Newport.
Redundancies began at these two sites on September 4 and closure of the first 52 stores began on September 12.
Rival B&M agreed to buy 51 shop sites in a £13 million deal and the name Wilko is set to remain on the UK high street after retailer The Range agreed to buy its brand, website and intellectual property, with plans to sell the acquired brand in its stores.
